SAT Scores are optional
This university has a test-optional policy.
While most local students enter through the highly competitive UP College Admission Test (UPCAT), the University of the Philippines offers an alternative pathway for foreign and foreign-schooled applicants. These students may apply for automatic admission by submitting qualifying scores from a national or international college admission test, including the SAT. A minimum SAT score is required, making it an optional but valid substitute for the UPCAT for this applicant group.
Note: Some programs or scholarships may still recommend or require SAT scores. Always verify the latest admission criteria on the official university website.
